the silver spoon

some have the smooth

thimble cup
of a silver spoon feeding

them their first taste
of food,

while others
take it in on a plastic fork

or a wooden
stick,

a finger, maybe, stuck
in the thick

of it.

it doesn't matter. it's how
you
live,

treat others that counts
most.

not where you've come
from

or where you've been for in

the end.
there is no difference
as we too

return to where we began.
